Recent Funding Opportunities

This is a very short, unrepresentative list of funding opportunities. It only reflects those hard copy RFPs that have been received by my office in the last month or so. A more comprehensive list of current funding opportunities can be found on the IU Granstlink. You can also search for funding opportunities using keywords from COS.

Grants from this fund are for projects involving more than one campus.  They are intended to support new research and creative activities, or to supply modest support for ongoing enterprises at critical times.  The maximum grant is $10,000, and most grants are considerably smaller.  The fund can be used to support graduate and undergraduate research assistants, travel expenses for visits to other IU campuses, research materials, and non-routine supplies and equipment that are essential to a specific research enterprise.

02-2 Travel Rates Effective January 1, 2002
New travel rates have been announced and are effective January 1, 2002.  These rates should be used for budgeting purposes in the development of proposals.  Be advised that some state agencies restrict the reimbursement of travel to state rates that are lower than university rates.  In such cases the actual reimbursement will be according to the state regulations.  Since it is unknown at the time of proposal development if such restrictions will apply to a particular project, the budget should estimate travel costs using the following university rates.

02-1 Capitalization Threshold Change
The threshold amount for the capitalization of equipment will be raised from $1,000 to $5,000. The federal government has allowed universities to raise their capitalization threshold and a detailed analysis by Indiana University has determined $5,000 to be the optimum threshold for our institution.

  • The capitalization threshold will change to $5,000 effective July 1, 2002 for tagging and creating assets in the Capital Asset Management System.
  • Proposals prepared that request equipment funds for budget periods after June 30, 2002 should include equipment at the $5,000 per item threshold.

Federal Business Opportunities Replaces Commerce Business Daily

New Area Code Now in Effect
Beginning today, the area code for the IUSB community changes from 219 to 574. Please update your records. For the next six months only, callers will still be able to get through using the old 219 code. However, we encourage you to start using the new 574 code immediately.

NIH is now requiring that all researchers show that they have passed an IRB Certification program in order to submit a proposal to them.  IUPUI is now requiring **ALL** researchers using human subjects to have this certification in place before a protocol will be reviewed. This includes student researchers. It is not far off, that all researchers at IU doing research involving human subjects will have to have this certification. IU has developed an on-line certification program that meet NIH standards.  I encourage everyone involved in human
subjects research to go through this online program at http://www.iupui.edu/~resgrad/Human%20Subjects/HumanSubjectsCourse.html and become certified.

Research and Sponsored Programs has been tracking our common questions regarding the Protection of Human Research Subjects?  Concise, direct answers have been posted to a new web page giving specific information regarding:

  • The Test
  • Contact Information
  • Documentation and Proof
  • Collaborators and Subcontractors
